Cathodoluminescent magnesian calcite micrite cement in shelly biomicrite of the Texas Gulf Coast inner shelf. Skeletal fragments are noncathodoluminescent, and siliciclastic accessory grains have a bluish cathodoluminescence Texas Gulf Coast inner shelf Sample courtesy of B. H.

Bladed and blocky magnesian calcite cements from the lower slope of Little Bahama Bank. Banded cathodoluminescence traceable from bladed cements to blocky cements indicates that these two cement habits are coeval. Little Bahama Bank |

Banded cathodoluminescence in low-magnesium calcite cements from the late Pleistocene of the Yucatan Peninsula. These cements formed within the interstices of corals; the coral skeletal material was subsequently dissolved Late Pleistocene of the Yucatan Peninsula Sample courtesy of W. C.

Calcite spar cement precipitated in the meteoric vadose zone of the Pleistocene Miami Limestone. Very thin, hairline zones are brightly cathodoluminescent Pleistocene Miami Limestone Sample courtesy of C. E. Barker, US Geology Survey |

Subhedral and euhedral dolomite crystals containing brighy to dully cathodoluminescent zones from the Plio-Pleistocene Seroe Domi Formation of Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles. The noncathodoluminescent areas in this field of view are low-magnesium calcite. Plio-Pleistocene Seroe Domi Fm. |
